V4L/DVB (8955): bttv: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in radio_open
Fix the following crash in the bttv driver: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000036c IP: [<ffffffffa037860a>] radio_open+0x3a/0x170 [bttv] This happens because radio_open assumes that all present bttv devices have a radio function. If a bttv device without radio and one with radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks. All we have to do to fix it is to skip bttv devices without a radio function. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
